Fig. is a similar view of the coin-chute l ig. i3 is a detail view of one of the eoin-sliiiles, illustrating;- the means for altering the thiehi'iess of said slide to compensate for variations in the thicln'iess of the coins being delivered.

In the embodiment of this invention herein shown and described the mechanism is supported and })IOl38(f-l}6(l by an inclosin g casing .1, comprising a in e-plate 2, having operating-keys 3 thereon, side pieces 4i, ha ring rip;

idly secured between them the main casting- 5, and the front plate 6, upon which main casting and front plate the operating meehanisin is mounted. comprises rear protecting-shield T.

The coins are supported in the ehungw ineker in the 'usinil manner in stacks upon the rearwMilly-inclined holder E4, the lower end of which holder is cut away beneath each stack of coins to permit the withdrawal of the lowermost coin in the stack when said coin is The casing it further,

1. 1, ig'ed by its pusl1erslide, all to be hereinaftei more clearly set forth. Coins pushed from the coinhol .h; r 8 fall into a coin-chute 9, that delivers them it the forward side of the machine at 1 point to be conveniently received in the hand of the operator. The front cover-plate 10 closes the upper side of the forward portion of the casino; 1. A cointray 1], of usual construction, supported in any convenient manner between the upper ends of the side pieces l, is adapted to hold a quantity of reserve coins.

The main casting 5 is provided with two integral forwardly-extending pivot-rail portions 12 and 1;), Fig. 2, the former being the upper pivot-rziil and the latter the lower pivot-rail. These pivot-rails are adopted to form the pivotal seat for many of the moving parts of the mechanism, and for convenience in description 1 will now also mention a similar pivot-rail 1-1, fixed upon the forward side of the front plate 6 near the upper edge of said plate. Each of the pivot-rails 12, 13, end 14 is longitinlinally chzmneled, as at 15, which channel is adopted to receive the pivotrods M5, 17, end 18. In order to permit the various members of the mechanism to be placed upon said ')ivot-rods l have formed in said rails transverse grooves 19, 20, and 21 for said members, Figs. 2 and l. The pivotrods l6, l7, and 18 are held in their respective channels by means ol' screws 22, Fig. l, the heads of said screws (or washers under said heads) bearingagainst the outer sides of said rods and holding them from displacement. The main *osting upon its forward face and at a point slightly above the pivotrail 13 is provided with another similar rail 23, having a channel 24 for receiving the spring-supporting rod 25, said rod being held in place by rows 26. The rail 23 has lJliLllS- verse grooves 27, Fig. 5, therein for receiving wire springs to be hereinafter described.

The upper edge of the main casti up, 5 is provided with tri-insverse grooves 28, Fig. 8, slightly greater in width but coinciding in position with the grooves it) in said upper pivotrail 1:2,.which grooves 28 are adapted to receive the coin-slides 29. These slides 29 are adapted to have a forward and back reciprocatory movement within the grooves 28, and this reciprocaforv movement imparted to them by the operator of the machine through a delivery-lever 30 to be hereinafter described The delivery-lever 30 ectuetes an elbow lever 31, pivotally mounted between two ears 32, secured to and extendi ilg rearwardly from the lower rear face of the main casting 5. The forward end of the elbow-lever 31 extends through a notch 33, formed in the lower edge of the main casting 5 and at its forward extremity is upturned to are supported upon said main casting by means of pivot-screws 40, Fig. 7. The n per edge of the tilting plate 37 carries a r0 41, which rod forms the pivotal support for the coin-slides 29, whereby the slides are reciprocated in the grooves 28 by a tilting or rocking movement of said tilting plate. The pivotrod 41 is secured to the tilting plate 37 by means of the upwardly-extending ears 42, secured to said plate. The tilting plate .37 is held normally in a .rearward position by means of coil-springs 43, Fig. 2, lying within counterbored openings 44 in the rear side of the main casting 5 and held in position between said casting and said tilting plate by guide-pins 45, fixed upon said tilting plate, which pins are adapted to enter the openings 44 when said plate is moved into its forward position. A stud 46, Fig. 2, upon the main casting 5 limits the forward movement of the tilting plate 37. Each of the coin-slides 29 has in its under face a notch 47, Fig. 7, the wall at the forward end of which notch forms a s uare shoulder 48 for a purpose to be hereina ter mentioned. In the construction of the mechanism there are as many coin-slides as there are stacks of coins or coin-pockets in the coin-holder 8.

As certain of the coins (particularly dimes) vary considerablyin thickness, it is necessary that an adjustment of the thickness (height) of certain of the coin-slides 29 be provided. Thisadjustment is obtained by means of a hardened spring -steel plate 49, secured to said slides at their rear ends by means of rivets. At their forward ends the plates 49 are provided with openings 50, beneath which a small screw 51 is placed, said scre'w being set in a screw-threaded opening in the forward end of said slide beneath said adjusting-plate.

' The head of the screw 51 is adapted to lie flush with the face of the coin-slide beneath the adjusting-plate and is somewhat larger in diameter than the opening 50. When it is desirable to slightly raise the forward end of the adjustingplate 49, the screw 51 is unscrewed slightly from its screw threaded opening, raising itshead a little, and consequently slightly raising the adjusting-plate 49. The screw-threads upon the adjustingscrew 51 arevery slightly inclined, (slow,) and said screw is made to fit its opening tightly.

Raising-cams 52, Figs. 7 and 8, having a central perforation 53, are loosely mounted upon the pivot-rod 16, said cams lying within the grooves 19, their free oscillation upon said pivot-rod being frictionally retarded by a coiled spring 54, lying in an annular groove 55, formed in the sides of said cam. Each of the lifting-cams 52 is provided upon its pe- I riphery with a cam-tooth 56 and upon its diametrically opposite side with an actuatinglug 57. The cam-teeth 56 are adapted to en gage the coin-slides 29 upon the under sides of said slides and forward of the notches 47, Fig. 6, the inclined sides of said teeth being adapted to raise said coin-slides into the plane of the lowermost coins in their respective coin-pockets and the angular side of the teeth to be engaged by the shoulders 48 of said slides, whereby the slides upon their rearward movement restore the lifting-cams to their normal position. The actuating-lugs 57 of the raising-cams 52 are arranged to be engaged by the fingers 58, the lower ends of which fingers lie within the transverse grooves mounted upon the pivot-rod 17 in said rail.

The fingers 58 are held normally forward by wire springs 59, the upper ends of which springs are seated in notches 60 in therear edges of said fingers, while their lower ends are coiled around the spring-supporting rod 25, the lower ends of said springs lying in contact with the main casting 5 in the lower part of the grooves 20. A stationary bail 61, secured at its opposite ends'to the main casting 5, limits the forward movement of the fingers 58.

Operating-levers 62, Fig. 3, have in their upper ends openings 63 for receiving their pivot-rod 18, upon which rod said levers are loosely mounted, the lower ends of said operating-levers being connected with the fingers 58 by means of links 64 and the forward ends of the links being connected with the lower ends of the levers 62 by means of screws 65. The rear ends of these links are provided with transverselyextending bearing-hooks 66, adapted to enter openings 67 in said fingers 58.

' Fromleft to right, Fig. 1, the pockets in the coin-holder 8 are adapted to receive coins of. the following denominationsz one dollar, fifty cents, ten cents, 'ten cents, twenty-five cents, five cents, five cents, one cent, and one cent. respectively overlies and its lower portion is in position to be traversed by one of the coin-slides 29. Coins are withdrawn from Each of these pockets the pockets in the coin-holder upon the for by the lifting-cams 52 into position to engage the coins. The lifting-cams 52 are operated by the fingers 58, and said fingers 58 are moved by the operating-levers 62, the movement of the operating-levers being communi cated to the fingers by means of the connecting-links 64. The operatin-levers 62 are oscillated by the operating (eys 3 upon the keyboard. All of the coin-slides are moved forward upon each forward movement of the delivery-lever 30, the elevated slides pushing opening 68.

the lowermost coins in the corresponding pockets out of said pockets into the coin chute 9. In the forward movement of the slides the notches 47 therein come into coincidence with the teeth'56 of the cams 52, whereupon the slides drop down over said teeth. When the delivery-lever 30 is released by the operator, the springs 43 throw the tilting plate 37 into its rearward position, withdrawing all of the coin-slides. Upon their rearward movement the shoulders 48 of the slides that had been raised engage the angular faces of the lifting-teeth 56 of their cams 52 and rotate said cams, thus restoring the cams to their normal position.

The front plate 6 is provided with-suitable openings for the passage of the links 64 and near its middle portion has a larger opening 68-1501 receiving the delivery-lever 30, which lever is pivotally mounted in the bracket 69 secured to and extending rearwardly from the front plate 6 near the lower margin of the The delivery-lever 30 in transverse section is somewhat of arch form, both ends inclining downwardly from its pivot. The rear end of this lever carries an antifriction-roll 70 for engaging the forward. upturned end of the elbow-lever 31. The forward end of the lever 30 lies in suitable position to be engaged by the fingers of the operator. The delivery-chute 9 opens a little distance above the forward end of the delivery-lever, so that the lingers and hand of keys-z one-dollar, ninety-cent, cigl-ity-cent,-

seventy-cent, sixty-ccnt, titty-cent, fortycent. thirty-cent, twenty-live cent, twentyccnt, ten-cent,five-cent, one-cent, and twocent. These keys 3 are iixed at the outer ends of stems 71,,wl1ichstems are slidably mounted in guide-bosses 72, the rear ends of said stems being bent in certain instances to said operatingdever 62 to secure an. engagement with the proper operating-levers 62. The one-dollar key engages the forward side of the operating-lever 62*,which lever at its lower end is bent at a right angleand at the end of said extension turned downwardly and there per-fora ted to rcceive thejscrew65 for connecting the link 64 The hook 66 at the rear end of the link 64 enters an opening 67 in the finger 58, which finger lies in the are of movement of the lug 57 of the lifting-cam 52. A movement 01 the one-dollar key therefore moves the lifting-cam 52 and raises the coin-slide 29 into position to engage the lowermost dollar-coin in its pocket in the coin-' holder 8. In like manner the fiftv-cent key, the stem of which engages the operating-lever 62, is connected by the link 64 with the finger 58, which said linger lies in the arc of movement of the lug 57 of the lifting-cam 52 A movement of the fifty-cent key moves the lever 62", oscillates the lifting-cam 52 upon its pivot-rod 16, and raises the coin-slide 2?) into position to engage the lowermost iii" cent coin in its coin-pocket in the coin-holder 8. The next key'from left to right upon the keyboardis the primary ten-cent key, the rear end 01 the stem of which lies in contact with the operating-lever 62. This operating-lever is' connected, by means of the link 64, with the finger 58, which finger is in position'to oscillate the lifting-cam 52 when said ten-cent key is pushed inward.

The stenr of the twenty-cent key, which lies adjacent to the ten cent key, has in its line of movement the operating-lever 62 which level is connected, by means of the link 64 ,with the finger 58 ,which fin er is in the path of movement of the lug 57 ot the liftingcam 52. This cam upon its oscillation is adapted to lift the coin-slide 29 into position to engage the lowermost ten-cent coin in the secondary ten-cent pocket of the coinholder and withdraw said coin upon the inward movement of said coin-slide; but inasmuch as it is necessary to operate both ofihe slides 29 and 29 and discharge two ten-cent coins in order to obtain twenty cents in change it is necessary to interconnect the two lingers 58 and 58, so that a movement of the twenty-cent key will produce a movement of both of said fingers. This interconnection I have arranged by placing upon the adjacent sides of said lingers 58 and 58 two intercngaging' pins 73, placing an overlying pin upon the finger 5S" and an underlying pin upon the linger on. This arrangement permits the primary ten-cent key to be operated indc wndcntly of the other ten cent mechanism, while the operation ol the twenty-cent key will operate both the primary and the secondary ten-cent mechanisms.

l have provided two five-cent mechanisins-a primary mechanism operated either 7 producing certain amounts in change.

to operate the cam 52 to raise the point of r the slide29 into engagement with the lower- -say, if thirty-five cents, forty-five cents,

by the five-cent key or by a separate fingerlever and a secondary mechanism operated only automatically and in-combinations for I will first describe'the primary five-cent keyactuated mechanism, next the finger-lever mechanism, and later, in connection with the description of the thirty-cent mechanism, will describe the secondary five-cent mechanism.

Thestem of the primary five-cent key is adapted to engage'at its rear end the double or arch operatinglever 62 which lever extends to the right-hand side of the machine and whose link 64 connects it with an inverted-arch lever 74, the free end of which levercarries an underlying stud 75, adapted. to engage a corresponding overlying stud 76 on the finger 58 The finger 58 is adapted most coin in one of the (the primary) fivecent pockets. The screw 65, pivotally connecting the link 64 with the operating-lever 62",is provided with a projecting head lying in the oscillatory path of a crank-arm 77, the hub of which crank-arm has a pinch fit with an oscillatory shaft 78, mounted in; ears 79, fixed upon the forward side of the front plate 6. The opposite end of the oscillatory shaft 78'is turned outward in a finger-operating lever or crank 80, which finger-lever lies in position to be engaged by the fingers of the operator when lifting the delivery lever, whereby the five-cent-coin slide 29 may be raised whenever it is desirable to add five cents. to any amount that will be produced by the previously-operated key that is to fifty-five cents, sixty-five cents, seventy-five cents, eighty-five cents, or ninety-five cents in change be desired the fingerlever 80 is lifted with the delivery-lever after one of the keys (thirty-cent, forty-cent, fifty-cent,sixty-' cent, &c.) has been pushed. The result is the delivery of the desired extra five-cent com.

The twenty five cent key operates directly upon the 'operating lever- 62, the lower end of which lever near the point contacted by the rear end of the stem of the twenty-five-cent key is connected, by means of the bent link 64, with the finger 58 and this finger is adapted to engage and oscillate the lifting-cam 52 to raise the coin-slide 29 into position to engage the lowermosttwenty-five-cent coin in the twenty-fivecent-coin pocket.

The rear end of the stem of the thirty cent key abuts directly against the forward end of the link (or pusher-rod) 64 The member 64 is not,'strictly speaking, a link; but for uniformity I have denominated it as such. The rear end of the link 64 is in pivotal engagement with the finger 58 which secondary five-cent-coin pocket.

finger is in a position to engage the lifting cam 52 and raise the coin-slide 29 into the plane of the lowermost five-cent coin of the The fin ger 58 is provided withan underlying stud 81, adapted to engage the overlying stud 82 on the finger 58 (which is the finger'that operates the twenty-five-cent-coin slide,) the result of which engagement is that the finger 58 is always carried forward with the forward movement of the finger 58 The rear end of the stemof the fortycent key is in engagement with the forward end of the link (or pusher-rod) 64*, the rear end of which link engages one arm 83 of a yoke 84. Said arm 83 is provided with an underlying stud 85, adapted to engage an overlying stud 86, fixed upon the finger 58 It wi be remembered that this finger cooperates with the finger 58" (the twenty-five-c'ent finger) to produce thirty cents in change. The other arm 87 of the yoke 84 has an underlying stud 88 adapted to engage an overlying stud 89, fixed upon the adjacent side of the finger 58", It will thus be observed that by pressing the forty-cent key the combination that produces thirty cents is operated, as also is the finger, link, andope'rating-lever of the primary ten-cent key.

The rear end of the stem of the sixty-cent key contacts a plate 90 on the idler-lever 62, which plate overlies a portion of the operating-lever 62. t also overlies a projection 91, extending from an idler-lever 62 which latter idler-lever carries an underlying projecting stud 9'2, coinciding with an overlying stud 93, fixed upon the side of the lever 62*. As will be seen, the lever 62 connects with the fifty-cent mechanism, while the lever 62 connects with the primary ten-cent mechanism. Therefore when the sixty-cent key is pressed the coin-slides 29 and 29 are raised to engage a fifty-cent coin and a ten-cent coin, respectively, and upon the forward movement of said coin-slides push said coins from their pockets into the coin-chute 9.

The rear end of the stem of the seventy- -cent key is turned at right an les with the length of said stem to contact the operatinglevers 62 and 62 As hereinbefore stated in the description of the operation of the sixty-cent key, the idler-lever 62 carries the plate 90, and therefore the operation of the lever 62 operates the sixty-cent mechanism. The operation of the lever 62 operates the twenty-cent mechanism but inasmuch as the sixty-cent mechanism includes the primary ten-cent lever 62 the net result of the operation of the key mentioned is seventy cents.

The rear end of the eighty-cent key contacts the operating-lever 62 which lever by means of the link 64 is pivotally connected with the arm 94 of the yoke 95, the other arm 96 of which yoke carries an underlying stud 97, adapted to engage a corresponding overanis'm. The horizontal bar of the yoke 95 is adapted to engage a projecting heel portion key is adapted to contact a plate 100, carried by an idler-o crating lever 62. This plate 100 overlies t e operatin -lever 62, also the end of the forty-cent lin (pusher -rod) 64*. The movement of the operating-lever 62 moves the yoke 95, and therefore operates the eighty-cent combination, and a movement of the link 64 'operates the forty-cent combination. The movement of' both the eighty-cent combination and the forty-cent combination at the same time oscillates both the inverted yokes 84 and 95, the net result of which is to move the thirty-cent combination, the fiftycent finger, and the primary ten-cent finger. The operating levers 62 and 62 when moved by contact with the rear ends of the one-cent and two-cent keys, respectively, produce a corresponding movement in the fingers 58 and 58 by means of the connecting-links 64 and 64'. The coin-slide 29 is made thicker vertically than the coin-slide 29 said extra thickness being necessary to cause said slide to engage two one-cent coins when it is lifted instead of only one one-cent coin, as does the slide 29 .The operating-keys one-cent and two-cent might be made five dollars and ten dollars gold Without any change in the mechanism save enlarging the coin pockets for said coins. The coin-holder casting is made with itswalls suflicientl thick at the one-cent and two-cent coin-poo ets to permit of this enlargement, if it is desirable to fit the machine for the gold coins mentioned.

After a key is depressed to raise the proper coin-slide into position to deliver a certain amount in change the coin-slides are moved forward by raising the delivery lever 30, which movement is imparted to said lever most conveniently by the fingers of one hand of the operator, the palm of said hand bein held in properposition to receive the delivere coins which fall from the coin-chute 9. When it is desirable to add five cents to any of the amounts produced by the keys, one of the fingers of the hand that engages the delivery-lever 30 is permitted to engage the lingerlever80 of the oscillatory shaft 78. Said finger-lever should be raised slightly in advance of the delivery-lever 30, so that the cam 52" of the primary five-cent key shall have an opportunity to raise the coin-slide intoposition store its forward end comes into contact with the lowermost coin in the primary fivecent pocket. By lifting the sup )lemental five-cent finger-lever an additiona five-cent coin is delivered. The same result would be attained by pushing the five-cent key in addi- 'tion to pushmg the key for the larger amount.

In use coins are placed in stacks in the coin holder 8 and a reserve supply laid in the coin tray 11. In the operation of the machine the operator mentally determines the amount of change desired and with the fingers of one hand pushes the key 3 upon the keyboard representing the amount of change desired. If fifteen cents, thirty-five cents, forty-five cents, fifty-five cents, sixty-five cents, seventy-five cents, eighty-five cents, or ninetyfive cents be desired, the operator ppshes the ten-cent, thirty-cent, forty-cent ty-cent, sixty-cent, seventy-cent, eightycent, or ninety-cent key, as the case maybe, and in raising the delivery-lever 3O permits one finger of the hand grasping said lever to engage the finger-lever 80 of the five-cent mechanism or after pushing the key representing the larger sum also pushes the fivecent key. As hereinbefore explained, the five cent key and the finger-lever 80 are both connected with the same five-cent, mechanism. In raising the delivery-lever the op erator naturally holds his hand palm upward and somewhat hollow, in which position the coins falling from the coiincl'iute slide into the palm of the operating-hand.

In the machine as illustrated certain combinations less than one dollar cannot be ob tained in a single operation of the machine for instance, nine cents, nineteen cents, twenty-nine cents, &c.; but, as is evident, another two-cent mechanism might be added and the machine then. be capable of delivering by a single operation every amount from one cent to one dollar, inclusive.
